Summary:
Schools in zip code 31548 (Kingsland, GA) serve approximately 5,519 students across five schools in the highly-ranked Camden County School District, which holds a 5-star rating and ranks #11 out of 201 districts in Georgia.
This area offers a strong educational pipeline from elementary through high school. Camden County High School is the standout performer, with a 96.2% graduation rate (well above the 87.2% state average), a top-50 state ranking, and End-of-Course exam scores 20+ points above state averages in Algebra I, Biology, and US History. The middle school feeds this success through an exceptional advanced math program — Camden Middle School achieved a perfect 100% proficiency rate in Algebra I for two consecutive years, and 95.3% of 8th graders passed High School Physical Science. Among the three elementary schools, Kingsland Elementary School stands out with the highest per-student spending ($14,111) and the highest economic disadvantage rate (57.1%), yet still delivers top-tier results, including 91.5% 5th-grade science proficiency in 2024-2025. Matilda Harris Elementary School excels in 3rd-grade math (77.5% proficient) and has the area's lowest chronic absenteeism at 12.7% — the only school below the state average. David L Rainer Elementary School shows the most volatility but rebounded to the 79th percentile in 2025-2026 with a 26-point jump in 5th-grade science.
The most pressing concern is chronic absenteeism, particularly at Camden County High School where 35.2% of students are chronically absent — nearly double the state rate — despite the school's strong academic outcomes. This disconnect suggests the school achieves results despite attendance challenges, not because of them. Overall, families in this area benefit from a district that consistently exceeds state averages across nearly every subject and grade level, with particular strengths in advanced math pathways and elementary science instruction.
